The first President for Europe is likely to be selected end
October. Former Britain Prime Minister Blair is France's candidate, opposed by Germany -- and possibly
Scandinavia. A compromise may be found from a smaller European country. Or perhaps over former colleague, former
Finnish President, Nobel Laureate Martti Ahtisaari.

UNESCO General Assembly meeting in October is expected to confirm the
selection of Bulgarian Ambassador Irine Bokova for the post of Director General.

The General Assembly will be selecting five new non-permanent members
of the Security Council for two years. The new ones are likely to be: Gabon, Nigeria, Brazil, Bosnia, and
Lebanon.
